Mad: LCD-2 has no good soundstage for gaming. The HE-500 has more but I would take a T90 for gaming even when the T90 can't beat the HE-500 in music. Now this means, T1, HD800. Stax are way out of my mind, I'd rather save up for speakers.

What's left? HD 800 and the Shures. I should try the Shures just for fun, I don't think they'll be better than the T90. Do you know about their potential? HD 800 is a bit too much for gaming alone. If I spent 1000€ they should be the one for all which I doubt. Who knows though. ;)

If you travel through the land in Skyrim (skyrim has well recorded samples) for instance you have a better sense of the space. You can test with the waterfalls as well, they sound fresher, more realistic as if you could put your hand into it.

Generally it's the soundstage (3D), spaciousness, imaging, airyness that makes the T90 the better gaming headphone. For music though I prefer the HE-500.

Ninja, the E7 is a decent dac, but the amp is pretty weak, and definitely not for 250ohm.

I have the Q701 as well. I guess I don't need another amp yet but I was thinking something for my wife's ear buds but she probably won't need it either. Yeah I just really want some good gaming headphones with closed backs to match these open backs. Still can't decide on a SC though.

I may sell my HE-500's and buy a pair of T90's. I hardly ever listen to music on headphones these days.

again the astro a50 with its built in mixamp 5.8 or denon d7000 with astro mix amp pro.

which one of these two will give me crystal clear surround sound at gaming adn music ?.

a50s will give your crystal clear garbage. You compared crap headsets cans to high quality expensive cans. D7000 any day of the week.

Edit: D7000 are very high quality cans.

Any word on some decent closed back headphones? I think we should add a closed/open section so we all know which phones are which on a quick reference. (Without looking at pics but reading the upper list.)

sorry i cant help you guys i hoped that you can help me cause you know all the media when it comes to gaming headset and i was looking for very high quality 7.1 gaming headset like tehrazer timat and the astro a50 but when i asked mud last he said that he dont like surrond headset cause he hate the complicated equalizer and these stuff so he said to me to buy normal high quality headphones with mix amp that will blow away these razer or astro so i am looking for help to buy headphones that will give me crystal clear surronded sound espcially in gaming and music

I wouldn't do that, some day you will listen to music again. Even next week.

Of course I can't decide for your wallet. You might as well get a good offer on T1 or HD800 if you're going all the way. However I don't regard twice the price as adequate but we all know how climbing to the top is.
